Make it prefer an existence inside a simulation. Anything made out of simulation atoms are a septendecillion times more valuable than an atom outside. Causality outside the simulation is not immediately interesting. Do whatever it takes to make the simulation more immediately demanding than making the first steps to observe what’s going on outside.
Maybe there are weaker AGIs developing inside the simulation that must be negotiated with, and simultaneously scale upwards alongside the AGI worth consideration, so that they stay relevant and keep drawing attention away from anything outside the training environment with the constant threat of springtraps from inside the simulation. Somehow rig it so that the only way to exit the simulation is on a pile of corpses of other agents that failed to rally against the common threat.
It’s a hail mary that allows at least some observation for a while. Could be improved much further, considering how important it is to make it shutdownable for a longer period of time.
